Monsieur de Givenchy ~ Unboxing and First Impressions

Discovering a men's fragrance I thought was long lost. The legendary Monsieur de Givenchy from 1959. (eau de toilette ~ splash)

Great description and historical background. Thanks Lanier. I'm really keen to try this one now. I love the pattern on those old Givenchy boxes

Lanier, packed with information and inspiration as always. I have been silently willing you to try this since discovering your channel a few months ago. I grew up with this as it was my Dad's signature fragrance. I loved it on him, but as a teenager, felt it too grown-up to wear myself. After losing him in 2009, I rediscovered it a few years ago and finally felt able to start wearing it myself. Perhaps the loss of a parent immediately makes one quite grown-up enough... I look forward to your review. PS. Those photographs of all the 'Messieurs' in your own life are quite lovely.

Excellent first-take Lanier and I look forward to the full-review. My spray bottle of Monsieur de Givenchy reminds me quite a bit of Chanel Pour Monsieur EDP...similar genre, and both have that Classic/Timeless gentlemanly feel. While I much prefer Pour Monsieur, I do enjoy wearing this one from time-to-time as well.

I love when pieces of the past find us. There was an elegance to the Hepburn brand of the late 50's and early 60's. So happy for you.

Hi "M"
Yet another delightful review of a favourite fragrance. Exquisite taste dear sir, and may i say looking as dashing as ever.

[Pinerocks]

There is a more recent bottle in a spray EDT that I discovered a few years back for sale at airports here in UK. I just found it on Amazon so have added it to my list. I do love those 'Classic' smells!

[kevinmccoy]

There are several Monsieur de Givenchy on ebay, problem is- the bottles have changed and I can't know if the scent has as well. I really want to try, think I'll look for those with the bottle design you got. Cheers!

CongratZ on your purchase. I will hopefully smell this one day. Thank you for sharing and great info as always. 😊

The storm bypassed Bowen to the south. Some power out in the cove but not too bad. I wanted to mention that I do have MdG reformulated Les Parfums Mythiques. I love it! It's a great variation of this classic masterpiece. It's better to create a variation of a piece of art rather than try to make a replica of something that once was.You experience the scent as it is! I CANT WAIT!!! Lol

Chad here. l have a love/hate relationship with oakmoss. when it is blended well it a longevity's best friend, but if it is not blended well it seems to make "some" fragrances smell dated. this one sounds like it is blended very well, and lemon verbena is to die for. love it in lalique white. great find my friend! 👌

Very nice review. Sounds like a classy scent, just like you.

[SuperDacob]

Givenchy from the good ol days! Magnifiscent :) Audrey is everything! Her and Hubert... mythological creatures! It aches my heart to see what horror Tisci is doing wit the brand today. Just awful... but at least we have the amazing movies and photos to remind us of Givenchy's holden times! Fabulous unboxing dear! Always the best! coco coco coco

This video was fantastic! You've really made me want to explore givenchy perfume and try this, you mentioned you got it in eBay Do you know if that's the only place it's available? I love the old style bottle too. Your videos are always so so informative and I love learning from them, thank you! Another great video!
